Whether you're adding honey to tea, or you need to measure any sticky substance, it'll generally stick. This doesn't happen with just things like honey and syrup, but even with vegetable shortening or sour cream. If you want to get an accurate measurement and save yourself some cleaning, redditor Shabotski recommends oil.

When baking, you use butter or oil to keep your cookies (or whatever you're making) from sticking to the pan. Similarly, if you want to prevent anything from sticking to a spoon or measuring cup, just add some oil. This is particularly convenient if your recipe calls for oil already because you can just measure out the oil first. If it doesn't, just pour a little bit in the measuring device and spread it around with a napkin or paper towel. This little amount of effort will make cleaning easier later.
